Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
